I've never known what "normal" is supposed to be. My AM already had 11 years of drinking on the books before I came along. The best I can do right now is try to learn healthy behaviors and pass that onto my children, in an effort to break the cycle. There are some things about myself that I think may be quirky, but they make me, me and I'm not ashamed of that. So, I'm not sure I'd ever want to be totally "normal." It seems awfully boring to me.
